There was a dog who lives on the Randolph Hill Rd just west of Grassy Lane who had gotten loose and stopped me in my tracks with barking, growling, and threatening behavior.

 | Comments: |
Great day for wildlife and flowers: A large porcupine at Lookout Ledge, a loon on Pond of Safety, and heard and saw a pileated woodpecker on gravel road leaving Pond of Safety. Lots of trout lily and spring beauty in bloom. Quite a few purple trillium and false hellebore with cameo appearance by a painted trillium and some dutchmen's breeches. |
